Reflection: Growth is Dead: Long Live Growth! Does the Quality of Growth Matter?

Yesterday, IDS-JICA-AFD held a joint book launch in Paris. Unfortunately, I could not attend the lively discussion but Lawrence Haddad, one of the co-editor of the book, summarises it on his website. Some of the key topics seem to include: Do we need growth? Role of governments, business and politics? Measure of quality? For more detail, see his website.

The full book contents will likely be available online in early February.

There are some more discussions and comments on the launch on Twitter as follows.
